  1. Mike Leach doing Mike Leach rivalry game things.
  2. Even if Washington beats WSU this Friday to go 5-7, despite having the #1 APR in D1 they can't go to a bowl even if they wanted to. Pac-12 rules do not allow teams with losing records to go bowling, because Pac-12. So, UT is one spot closer....
  3. Yes, and an extreme surprise that was. Just enjoying the ride this season.
  4. Was a privilege to get to see that.
  5. June in Doha? Do not want.
  6. He may get to 750 against the Squid tonight. (Big Ovie fan, but have some mercy, please.)
  7. Were this to be true, good to know we're no longer serious about football. It'll save me a ton of money and time.
  8. You are well informed, although your spy may be in danger - clearly they've been spotted by He Who Has the Bag o' Dicks.
  9. That's what I've heard as well - that he's pushing his candidacy through Wilner (and others). Hopefully the UW will see through it. I don't pay shit for any of that. There's enough other ways to hear what those knobs are blathering about. +rep for your avatar and username
  10. So yeah, minnows and all that, but pulling for the Tubarões Azuis (Blue Sharks) of little Cabo Verde as they finish group play at Nigeria tomorrow. Tough task to beat the continental power at their house - and CV needs to win to advance - but they only lost the home tie on a late own goal. (Became good friends with a Nigerian woman when I was in CV a couple of years ago... don't think I'll mention my rooting interest to her.) 😆
  11. Oh, dear Gawd no. No no no nonononono. He would not be nearly as popular here as that article implies. He seems to have checked out a bit (as you're well aware) and this program needs a beast recruiting-wise, what with Uncle Phil Sweatshop's $$$ down the road. They play the recruiting game SEC style down there, probably because it (unfortunately) works. Sorry I missed seeing that you visited Husky Stadium this year. Would've happily given you a few tips. Hopefully you had a good visit.
  12. I'm not sure, to be honest - I'm not sure how big-money serious the program is and what they're looking for. The upside is that there is actually a decent amount of young talent here and it is a place where you can win. After the last hire, I hope they'll be looking at someone who has actually run a program. Intriguing names to me would be Billy Napier (bit of a reach) or Kalen DeBoer at Fresno (high upside but risky). Todd Monken would be an intriguing choice as well. Unfortunately with all the high profile openings the Luke Fickells and Matt Campbells of the world are out. Hermensa is popular on the board I read, mainly because they do not read Shagurly and so do not know what I do about him (some of the tOSU stuff has been mentioned recently though). For me? Do not want. Wilcox would be accepted here but to me would also tell me the AD is no longer terribly serious about FB. But... the crazy people think Bob Stoops is in play somehow, since he's apparently friends with Chris Petersen and Petersen is on the search committee. It's ludicrous, but there is a beloved local burger joint here called Dick's, meaning that he could continue to eat bags of dicks to his heart's content. It's difficult to overlook that factor.
  13. That's a lot of the talk from the $9.95-ers here as well. It is not particularly popular, although it would be better than some other options.
  14. Loved it - was there (too far to get a hat onto the ice though). Thanks for posting. The Squid aren't great, but they are entertaining to watch.
  15. Considering he should never have been hired, by anyone, anywhere... I'll take it.
  16. Welcome, SB. I'll wave at ya.
  17. Think you can search by zip code on NHL site for what local market (if any) you're in. I assume Austin is in the Dallas market, but maybe not. Brother in southern Oregon and buddy in Spokane are both in Kraken market even though 300 miles away. We were in no market last year so all games were out of market and streamable.
  18. Inaugural season. Gonna be great to root for an IN-market team finally! 🐙
  19. That is definitely sick! Nice photos. They are taking forever to get the pre-ordered ones to season ticket holders - they're the dark blue ones with Inaugural Season patch - but I might like the white one just as much. Was up at the Iceplex today (3 rink training facility open to the public as well) - team wasn't there as there's a game tonight but lots of kids skating. Really nice facility.
  20. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
  21. That cracked me up. Good work! Brazilian Portuguese = "tchau," same pronunciation as "ciao." "Adeus" is not quite as common; it has more of a formal "farewell" connotation. Of course, being a Brazilian of Italian descent, Fittipaldi could have gone with either "tchau" or "ciao" and PittsburghTiger would have heard the same thing. Except "chow." Definitely not "chow." 😂😉
  22. Vamos Tubarões Azuis! Go Cabo Verde Blue Sharks! (Mindelo is a cool town.)

    Austin FC

    One of those USL guys is 15. 5 preseason starters have missed substantial time for the Sounders this season, plus international callups. They haven't had a full roster in any match this season. I like Austin in this one. Really like your new house and hope to come down for a match someday. Great looking atmosphere.
  24. Welcome aboard! Can't wait to walk in the doors on Opening Night - it's been a long wait. 🦑
  25. Gawd that shit is turrible. A huge part of traveling for me is the culture of the places I visit, and food/drink being a big part of culture, I'm usually diving in to whatever the locals enjoy. I really liked Argentina and would love to return... but I tried that shit and was damn! What the hell are you thinking? and it was back to the malbecs for me. One of the worst "national" drinks I've ever had that didn't have sneks in the bottle.
